Goals

HT Debate Programs' Curriculum & Evaluation Framework is designed by Dr K. Moyse - University Professor (Research focus on Children's Health & Development), Psychologist, Published Book Author, International Conference Speaker and Debate Coach. The main focus is for students to articulate their ideas through the process rather than getting familiar with multiple debate formats.

We set our sight on students' achieving long term goals and honing life skills. Each class comes with a new theme and topic, to match with theories and concepts, and students get the actual practice.
